This week, I got to attend the US premieres of “ReGeneracija / ReGeneration,” an extraordinary new documentary film directed by Emir Kapetanović and produced by Zana Marjanović. It features ten courageous youth “reconciliation ambassadors” advocating for peace in postwar Bosnia and Herzegovina. The ambassadors are Serbs, Croats, and Bosniaks from ten different towns and cities across the country. The project was supported by USAID and IRI Global. The premieres were held the UN headquarters in New York (my first time there!) and the iconic E Street Cinema in Washington, DC. Emir and Zana welcomed me so hospitably; they’ve been a dream to collaborate with.

I edited the English subtitles and press kit for Emir and Zana; for that, they named me associate producer (my first film credit!). Prior to that editing work, I also wrote a review of the film, which you can read here.

Recently I joined the masthead of American Microreviews and Interviews, overseeing its interviews. So much gratitude, so much respect for my predecessor, Melissa Studdard, who entrusted me with the job as she took on more responsibilities with VIDA: Women in Literary Arts.

Here are my most recent interviews!

With novelist and professor Stacy Mattingly, on “narrative witness,” the Sarajevo Writers Workshop, and literary border-crossings.

The brilliant author, blogger, and columnist Jana Riess just published an interview with me in her regular column for the Religion News Service. Read the interview — called “When Mormons first went to Harvard…” — here!
